UNADULTERATED NONSENSE.

For big newspaper, the Globe-Demo-
crat can give out as much pure editorial
drivel and nonsense by the foot or yard
as any journal this side of the Rocky
mountains. While admitting that Mr..
Cleveland will be the nominee of the
democrats, the st. Louis republican ex-
take Cleveland against their will; that he
is or will be forced upon them; that he
has not impressed the country with his
personal trustworthiness, and that, IN
doubtedy, he is the inferior of Polk.
Henry Wattersou's opinion of Cleveland
is cited in support of the G.-D.'s posi-
sition. 1t is impossible to believe
our St. Louis cotemporary could be
guilty of so much weak stuff, almost be-
meath an ordinary schoolboy. Cleveland
Will be selected by the democrats, not be
cause no other public man is available.
The woods are full of them. There is
Hill, OF New York; Mcdonald, of Indiana;
VIM. R. Morrison, OF Illinois; Thurman,
of Ohio, and others. There is
hardly a state in the north in which the
democrats cannot find good, available
presidential timber. But Cleveland will
be chosen above all, because he has shown
himself the man for the place. He
has given the country peace, repose,
and an honest, clean administration.
He has shown ability without ambition,
and an honesty that has had salutary in
fluence in all departments of the govern
ment; he is about the first president since
the war who has set his face against fraud
and peculstion, and the only one who has
reclaimed millions of acres of lands from
the grasp of powerful and insstiate rail-
way corporations.
This is why the democrats of Texas, al
least, are for Cleveland for second term.
When the Globe-Democrat desires to at
tack the president, i: will have to present
facts, instead of the idle vaporings of
republican brain, soaked, for long years,
in an insane malignity agsins. everything
democratic or southern.

COMPROMISING WITH RANDALL.

recent editorial in the st. Louis Re-
publican, representing as it does pretty
largely the democracy of the west, indi-
oates that western democrats, at least,
are not absolutely averse to accepting the
compromise rendered By the Randall pro-
tective clique of democrats in the Penn
sylvanis platform. Mr.. Randall's posi-
ton is known to be for the total extinc-
ton and wiping out of internal revenue
taxation, and lifting the tax from whisky
and tobacco. 1t is, of course, a high
tariff protection measure. But in the
Pennsylvania platform the leader of the
democratic protection heresy makes con-
cessions to the free trade wing, and while
declaring for reduction of internal
REVENGE also demands cutting down i'm
port duties. This latter clause will put
the revenue only" advocates in better
humor with the distinguished Pennsyl
vanian. Even so uncom promising tariff
reformer as Mr.. Mills might relax some
of his long antipathy to the Randall
faction and their tactics.
There is no doubt this section of the
democratic party, though very small
represented by the thirty-six
democrats who cast their votes against the
Morrison bill in the house, is too much of
an element of success to lose in the cam
paign of next year. As very truly re-
marked by the republicans, the Randallites
cannot control, but they may be able to
fatally divide the party. 1t will
be better TO go into the fight
of 1883 with them than without them;
and yet, if the democratic party is. to
retain them, it should not be with the
total surrender of a single principle, or
policy, laid down in the patty platforms
since 1876. The democrats can reyer.a and
should never, abandon the purpose of
overthrowing the protective policy, with
all its inequalities, its injustice, its tyr
amy and its barefaced robbery.

THE PUBLIC DEBT

The financial statement issued by the
government, few days ago,indicates that
the enormous debt left by the war is more
rapidly disappearing than many of US
expected, upon the conclusion of strug-
gle that shook the social and political,
as well as the financial, structure of the
United States to its centre.
The present state of our national debt
is most satisfactory, and shows that its re-
duction is as rapid with democratic ad-
ministration in power as under republi
can rule. From the vortex of a great and
destructive revolution we are drifting
back to our financial status before the
war, when, in 1857, the public debt of the
United States amounted to but $2S,.
100000; in 1866, to the prodigious amount
of $2,77S,2S6,l7S, and on September l,
1887, to $l,269,774,S66, less cash in the
treasury. A comparison of the present
debt status with that twenty years ago is
altogether gratifying. We are gradually
getting rid of colossal incubus.
The treasury statement, just promul-
gated, also shows that we are not SO bad
off, compared with other nations. Whilst
Uncle Sam owes one and a quarter billions
exclusive of the immense surplus in the
treasury, the French budget sweils to the
prodigious amount of $7,l7t,967, $40, with
revenue of 500, 100000. John Bull stag
gers under a debt of $S,624 100000 with
revenue of S425,OOO,OOO. The Italian
debt is S2,2O0,OOO,oOO. The Russian
budget appro1imates $4,000, 900, with
revenue of $S5OO0O00O.
Again, this country has resources that
belong not to the overcrowded and pau
perized communities of Europe, and we
are better able to stand a debt of q
thousand millions than the richest of
them.

Vest Button Photogra plty,

The process of instantaneous photograph
ing is rapidly becoming an evil We hear
talk already about specialists in photography
for instantaneous pictures since the Detect
i've Camera" as it is called, was put upon the
market. The box is so small that it can be
carried anywhere without the slightest incor-
venience, and, as the little lens at the bottom
is always ready for use, an instantaneous pic
ture can be taken at any desired moment.
In Germany, Herr Stirn recently produced
before Photographic society engagements
to size of forty centimeters from such pic
lures, and all were remarkably distinct and
well defined. These plates can also be taken
at different distances and always sharply out
lined. Young men take their lady friends on
promenade to be unconsciously photographed

eras. Any possible mania or desire for
photos can soon be gratifed at trifing e1-
pense and after short term of practice by
means of this invention. Photographs can
soon be so multiplied as to become positive
nuisance and from the various considerations
that enter into the matter, it does not seem
so very easy to answer our query-"What

SEN AToR REAGAN's POSITION.

Mr.. Reagan will enter the senate of the
United States under very embarrassing
and peculiar circumstances, such as have
hsmpered few representatives in that
branch of the government. Mr.. Reagan,
notwithstanding his great experience in
political and governmental affairs, was
injudicious enough to fling himself head
long into the current of the wild craze of
prohibition. Had prohibition carried the
day, Mr.. Reagan would have been a thor
ough and complete representative of
Texas in the councils of the nation. But,
he made one of the few mistakes
in long and honorable public ca
reer. Even although privately en-
dorsing the principals of prohibition, it
was never necessary for Mr.. Reagan to
publicly declare his opinions on this sub
ject. As it is, he has simply placed him
self in an attitude antagonistic to the
sentiments and wishes of the state of
Texas, declared by 100000 ma jority at the
ballot box.
But doubtless we can get along with
Mr.. Reagan. The hydra-headed monster
of prohibition is not likely to rear its
horrid form in the senate before the end
of Mr.. Reagan's term. We even might
forgive his error, knowing that on all
other great public questions-ou the
tariff, or silver and curreucy-Mr. Reagan
is fully in accord with the views of his
people and state, and on these questions
his course has been thoroughly sound, able
and honest.

THE ANARCHISTS APPEAL.

The supreme court of Illinois, which, in
few days-or weeks, at most-will de-
eide the fate of the condemned anarchists
of Chicago, began its session yesterday.
The courts of the country have seldom
been called upon to settle a more i'm
portant question than that presented in
the case of Parsons, Spies and their in
famous pals. The question before the
supreme court of Illinois is one not
merely of the execution or the prae-
ticll turning loose of the Hsymarket
assassiDs by the dodge of a reversal and s
new trial, but it is question whether the
most dangerous form of associated crime
ever attempted in this country shall be
throitied in its infancy, or whether, by a
weak and idiotic dalliance, it shall be
allowed to take root and grow up TO a
power it may, in the future, take armies
to overcome ard destroy. If Parsons and

vast importance to the people of this
country.
1t would be the strongest, most extern

the same time, one of the most powerful
monopolies that have grown MP under the
shadow of our government.
The Baltimore d Ohio system, the only
formidable rival the Western Union has
ever had, works over 10000 miles of wire,
against 100000 miles of the Western
Union; employs 5000 persons, against
$4,000 of the latter corporation, and has
l 800 offices, against $1,000 of the Western
Union.
All other telegraph lines in this coun-
try, including united lines, $4,000 miles;
United States government, 5000; Deseret,
1000, and smaller lines, $4,000 miles, ag-
gregate only about 100000 miles. The
new consolidation would control 100000
miles of wire, or $4,000 miles more than
all other remaining lines combined. 1t
would indeed be giant monopoly" con-

bid defiance to the country and run up
tolls to any amount.

SOMETHING UNIQUE IN WARFARE.
Struggle in Which the Old We're
Pitted Against the Young Men.

A Struggle in Which the Old Were
Pitted Against the Young Men.
DR.. Wolf, the explorer of the Sankuru
river, has just told some curious facts about
the Baluba tribe, who are becoming dis
tinguished among all the millions of the Con-
go basin for their eagerness to accept from
the whites all the ways of living and the in
formation that they think will benefit or
improve them. Long before the whites knew
them they were regarded by the neighboring
tribes as most remarkable people, and they
are keeping up their reputation.
Until within the past fifteen years the Ba-
luba kept themselves strictly separate from
their neighbors. They had no intercourse
whatever with any other tribe. This is very
unusual for the tribes throughout Africa, if
not QUARREL with their neighbors, gen.
orally have many commercial dealings with
them, and even in time of war the women of
the hostile tribes sometimes mingle in perfect
unity, exchanging their commodities
The young men among the Baluba finally
decided that it would be better for their
tribe to cultivate relations with their neigh
bors and open the country to traders with
other tribes. They had the support of their
chief, but the old men and graybeards of the
tribe set their faces sternly against the inno-
walton. With the conservatism of old age
they declared that such step would ruin the
tribe. As long as they lived, they said, they
would never consent that the Baluba should
mix with other peoples.
Each side was determined to have its way,
and the quarrel grew more and MOI bitter,
until finally it resulted in civil war. 1t was
one of the most remarkable wars ever waged
for on one side were ranked the old men, the
fathers and counselovs Of the tribe, while on
the other side fought the youth and lusty
strength of the Baluba. The sons were pitted
against their elders, but in this case as in
others that L hit be mentioned, conserva-
tism was Simply unprogressive narrowmind-
edness, and wisdom was with the younger
party.
The struggle was short and furious. 1t re-
suited in the complete overth ow of the old
men, The hatred eDgendered by this unnat-
ural war was so intense that the vanquished
were nearly exterminated. Almost all the
old linen were killed or were thrown with
their women into the Lulus Then the young
men opened their doors to commerce New
